And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exists and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,

It was not common in 1590 to separate oneself from noble work to desire a much more entert

There were three types of plays in 1590, comedy, historical plays, and tragedy. An actor usually concentrated on his talents. Anders, on the other hand, focused equally of all three. He believed that being a great actor meant encapsulating every genre of acting that there was. He knew at twenty he had a lot to prove to other actors, as well as playwrights. Acting became a legal profession in the 1570’s. Most actors wanted to be known for being true to their craft, meaning they acted for the sheer purpose to perform. Unlike those who entertained for just money or fame. A popular, yet prestigious actor was James Burbage. Burbage was head of the first important troupe called the Leicester’s Men, and was licensed to open his open stage house in 1574 called, “The Theater.”

An apprentice’s job was not easy. Anders was limited to small parts, revising scripts, and maintaining the stage. He was made to travel with the troupe with little pay and meager amounts of food. Eager to learn what he could from every play, he developed different acting styles for each play. Anders learned about comic timing, and dramatic pause. He understood the beats within a play. He struggled with becoming the character and using the playwright’s intent. With the help of Shakespeare Jonathan Anders would become the most versatile actor of his time.

It was the end of the sixteenth century that Anders became a member of the newly built Globe Theater, completed in 1599. Critical to the creation of this playhouse was the influential playwright himself, William Shakespeare. A fellow actor of Anders, Shakespeare now concentrated primarily on his writing. This was a moment for Shakespeare to shine. His works from that period expressed the underlining factors for all plays. Love, betrayal, and death were all the aspects in which Shakespeare based his plays plots within. It was then an actors’ job to bring the characters and script to life. It can be speculated that Shakespeare’s brilliant writing extended from his experience as an actor. “Theater is a collaborative art, only occasionally yielding the right conditions
